The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development council  

Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Council Logo
The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Council was established in September 1984 by a resolution of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Authority. The Council was formed to provide a forum for the multitude of public and private interests in the operation and use of the waterway. The non-profit organization is governed by an independent board of directors and officers elected by its membership. It has more than 200 dues paying members from some 12 states. The Council represents commercial users in the operation and maintenance of the project and addresses research needs and technical matters that may impact its potential benefits. The economic interests of its membership are far ranging, including industrial development, recreation, tourism, and trade.
